Today's Astro Highlight for Pisces from Cafe Astrology

October 17, 2018

The Moon moves into the sign just behind yours, dear Pisces, and this can bring on the need for some form of retreat or break. You need some extra personal space or time to think, process, and digest recent experiences and feelings. Circumstances may be such that you are better off functioning behind the scenes just for a couple of days as you wind down a lunar cycle. With a Pluto-Ceres square active today, however, tensions might arise with someone over issues of sharing or power dynamics, and timing in your relationships can be a little off. Part of this may be that you fear missing something important in your social life, and this keeps you a little too attached or always "on" when you need some quiet. An urgent desire to get ahead is likely part of this, but do consider that you need to pace yourself to perform at your best.

Today's Pisces Horoscope by Patrick Arundell

(Pisces 20 February - 20 March)

Wednesday 17th October

As thoughtful Mercury angles harmoniously to ethereal Neptune in your sign, this can be an excellent influence for art, exploring spiritual or religious issues and enjoying music, poetry and other creative activities. It can also be a great opportunity to visit an exhibition or concert that might kick-start your own creative talents and encourage you to try your hand at a new project.

The Astrology of Today – All Signs

Horoscope for All on Wednesday, October 17, 2018

The Moon finishes its transit of Capricorn at 3:36 AM EDT when it enters Aquarius. The Aquarius Moon is forward-looking, progressive, and inventive. We’re inspired to improve and grow.
A Pluto-Ceres square can point to the aggravation of tendencies to possessiveness or excessive attachment, however, which can drive the people or things involved away. We may worry about rejection or betrayal. We’re drawn to nurturing and supporting our partners these days, but fear of losing our position or power can interfere now. We should do our best to resist urges to stifle, control, and manipulate loved ones.
The Moon’s square to Venus in Scorpio today can complicate matters with conflicting needs for emotional freedom and intimacy.
The Moon continues its void period until 3:36 AM EDT when it enters Aquarius.

This Month: Pisces

Pisces October 2018 Monthly Horoscope Summary: There is a reserved theme with you this month, dear Pisces, with the New Moon occurring in your intimacy sector on the 8th and Mars charging through your privacy sector. Love is private, intimate, and passionate in the month ahead, and discoveries are rich. You're observing, editing, refining, and strategizing, and these are perfect activities for the current astrological climate.

Despite this introspective focus, key planets are encouraging you to explore new ideas and experiences, especially as October advances. Jupiter is heading to the top of your solar chart but won't get there until November 9th. In October, Jupiter is finishing up its transit of your spirit sector in style. It's opening up your mind to new ideas and opening the doors to you for opportunities with promotion, publishing, travel, and education. Mercury, Venus, and the Sun are all spending time in this sector of your solar chart, and these areas are fairly popping.

With Mars in your privacy sector all month and Venus retrograde, you'd be wise to focus your energies on tying up loose ends and a work-in-progress rather than brand new beginnings. However, there can be much to enjoy socially at this time. In fact, you may be doing some experimentation now. Someone may take issue with you if you've been on the fence about a matter, or if you have been stalling around the 10th, however. You need some time to process feelings and affections.

You're seeking answers from within at the beginning of the month, and you're making some astute observations as you step back from the action just a little, but watch it closely! It's a good month for deepening a connection but do prepare yourself for some complications. Travel, legal, or educational plans may not be moving forward at the speed you'd like. With Venus retrograde from the 5th affecting your axis of communication and transportation in October, you may be contending with delays and changes of heart.

This Venus retrograde may be a little easier on you than most. For one, in October Venus is traveling in harmony with your sign, and for another, Mars is in the background of your chart for the duration, and you're not as inclined to come on strong. As such, some of the social flubs that are common with retrograde Venus are not as likely for you this time around.

Ideas are so plentiful this month that you can have a difficult time choosing one or two and going with them, leading to a bit of chaos. However, you'd be wise to take the cue from Mars in your privacy sector and avoid pushing too hard. A new perspective can see you redefining some of your beliefs, ideals, goals, and dreams, especially around the 15th and 25th. You might also more clearly see which approaches or expectations you had in the past that sent you along the wrong path. Through conversations or musings, you can gain significant insight into mysteries from your personal history.

The Full Moon on the 24th is an eye-opening one and may feel a little hectic, but through a bit of chaos comes enlightenment, or at least a greater understanding of what's most important to you.

The last week of the month is powerful. Jupiter is spending its final weeks in your adventure sector, aligns with Mercury, and connects with Chiron in your sign in a beautiful aspect. You're gearing up for an ambition-fueled year, but for now, you're capturing your spirit for learning. This is an important time for enthusiasm, creative enterprise, self-expression, and letting go of inhibitions. You're letting go of the more rigid elements of your personality. You are your biggest selling point right now – your character is shining -- but the key is your humble confidence. You can benefit from word of mouth or positive reviews. Take every opportunity to brush up on skills and boost your knowledge now. This can also be a good time for meeting a special friend, possibly through your interests, studies, travels, or adventures.

This Year: Pisces

2018 Yearly Horoscope Overview

With Jupiter (most of the year) and Saturn in soft aspect to your sign in 2018, this is a year that supports your efforts more than challenges you, dear Pisces. It’s a powerful year for teaching, guiding, coaching, and mentoring, as well as learning and connecting, in particular.

Until November, Jupiter helps you take things in stride rather than sweat the small stuff. You can be especially curious on intellectual levels in 2018, and opportunities to travel, learn new things, gain new experiences, expand your horizons, publish, promote or expand your business dealings can emerge. For writers and artists, this is a year in which you’re likely to grow your audience or get published. Studies can bring fabulous rewards, whether you’re formally training or learning for fun and interest. Authors, speakers, business owners, and agents among you may reach a broader or more appreciative audience in 2018. From November forward, you’re in a career peak that extends for thirteen months – almost to the end of 2019. This may have to do with a change of status, significant achievement or award, position, or improved reputation instead of career.

In 2018, you may especially enjoy exploring different ideas, cultures, places, and belief systems. People tend to love your ideas and opinions. All year is excellent for your reputation, internet publishing, and public life, and this theme is likely to extend well into 2019. For some, this is a year when a partnership or friendship brings an extended family into your life or opens the door to favorable new relationships.

A relatively new influence on your solar chart impacts your friendships, group associations, dreams, and wishes. Saturn seeks what’s real and authentic, and in this sector, there can be some slimming down, testing, or shaping up in your social life. While you may part ways or grow apart from a friend or group, this can also be a time for a stronger (or a strong new) friendship that’s long-standing. This can be true for certain causes, dreams, or plans that no longer support or represent you.

The year might also find you making friends through business or enjoying a mature mentor or friend. Friendships with larger age gaps may happen now, or obligations to friends or causes/groups can be weighty or demanding at times, but also satisfying. You might renew an old friendship. Sometimes this transit brings responsibilities through others’ children. It’s a super time for getting serious about certain happiness projects or causes and putting some hard work into these endeavors. Practicality is a bigger consideration now, and this is immensely helpful for you at this point in your life.

Saturn’s influence may depress business earnings for some, but Jupiter’s influence suggests this year and the next are excellent for your reputation and career. As such, some of you may find it easy to deal with modest earnings because you’re enjoying your work so much, or it can be a necessarily leaner time as you prepare for bigger gains at a later date.

You quite naturally end up in a teaching, guiding, advising, or mentoring role with the influences of both Jupiter and Saturn in 2018. You are learning to “own” what you do by the last couple of months of 2018, and you’re liable to feel more comfortable in a position of authority. People in high places take a shine to you.

New themes entering your life this year have to do with friends and lovers, communications, and studies. These are areas of the biggest change and turning points in 2018. Some of you will be happy to see Uranus moving out of your money house this year. This move is not yet permanent and will only be complete by March 2019, but it does point to less unpredictability with money.

People might often feel drawn to you for guidance, healing, or spiritual questions this year, and you tend to radiate warm, healing energy. Don’t hesitate to grab opportunities that allow you to grow, learn, and share in 2018.

This Year in Love: Pisces

2018 Love Horoscope for Pisces

Jupiter’s transit of Scorpio until November is supportive, dear Pisces. Not only does it harmonize with your sign, it forms a lovely trine with Neptune, your ruler, in your sign. These influences don’t directly impact your partnership and romance sectors in 2018, but they help to soften and encourage you. You’re more naturally confident, romantic, idealistic, and inspired.

Saturn has moved out of challenging relationship to your sign — another helpful influence that takes the pressure off and allows you to express your warmer traits more naturally. In general, 2018 is likely to be a more empowering, stable, and grounding year for you. You are feeling considerably more natural, and generally speaking, others are appreciating the qualities that come most naturally to you. People might often feel drawn to you for guidance, healing, or spiritual questions. You radiate warm, healing energy. You are also more grounded and reliable than usual. Don’t hesitate to grab opportunities that allow you to grow, learn, and share.

Opportunities to connect with others online or through learning efforts may present themselves from mid-May to early November. This can be a time of opening your mind to unusual new interests or for communications and transportation opening up new channels for making connections.

Quick-moving Mercury rules your partnership sector, and travels the entire zodiac in the course of the year 2018, as is common. Mercury’s retrograde periods may point to slowdowns in relationships, or times when a partner is harder to understand, indecisive, or hesitant. These periods are March 22 -April 15, July 26-August 19, and November 16-December 6…cont’d
